Nonsense. Its prices should be products of the free market, which they are not. No way a free market would support anything like the prices charged by hospitals in the US.


And you base that on what?
Oh please. You only need to understand the basic principles of free markets. Making price shopping impossible, and arranging things such that payments are made by third parties who then socialize their expenses, is a formula for massive overpricing. This is fundamental stuff. And you don't need to work in the field to know that two Tylenol don't cost the hospital a hundred dollars, or anything close to it.
